Level 4

Alpha Level 4

This course is designed to familiarize the doctors providing moderate sedation with all of the narcotics available. This is a 3-day course for the seasoned practitioner that wants to learn and “experiment” with other narcotics in a controlled teaching environment. We will use:

Fentanyl

Alfentanil

Sufentanil

Remifentanil

Meperidine (Demerol®)

Hydromorphone (Dilaudid®)

Morphine

There will be 3-4 moderate sedation cases scheduled every day. Afternoons will be spent reviewing the pharmacology of each narcotic used that day.
